I am very proud of our kids. They never gave up.

When we lost those cheerleaders we had to change our whole routine. That really took a lot of the difficulty out of our routine.

I was pleased with the score. We all knew our routine wasn't as difficult as some of the other squads competing. It took a lot of courage for our cheerleaders to go out on the mat knowing that.

You have to be able to compensate for the men. You have to compensate them with competition and scholarships to make sure they stay.
